In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Peter the Great is about as non-woke as you can expect from a 1980s historical miniseries. Its focus is on story and historical drama, not on identity or overt ideology. For those tired of modern Hollywood’s social messaging, this one’s refreshingly unbothered.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1986 "Peter the Great" miniseries sticks closely to historical storytelling and prioritizes its central characters’ depth and flaws over modern identity politics. There’s no sign of casting or narrative manipulation for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The depiction of monarchy, traditional family roles, and religious influence is presented in a historical context without being mocked or subverted. The show takes a non-critical approach to the era's masculine figures and moral frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence that alternative worldviews are villainized; it is more interested in period-accurate conflict than in modern ideological agendas. Historical complexity takes the stage over any monocultural preaching.
